AIMING FOR MORE THAN 38,000 HANDMADE, HEARTFELT CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Rural Aid on track to deliver record number of festive messages to farmers Following an emotional response from farmers in previous years, Rural Aid is repeating its Christmas Cards 4 Farmers campaign in 2020 with an aim to distribute more than 38,000 cards. The organisation is once again asking school children to help bring some much-needed cheer into the lives of our farmers by creating homemade cards. CEO of Rural Aid, John Walters, said that in the lead up to Christmas over recent years, Rural Aid had asked school children to write letters and cards to farmers and the response was huge. “We received 38,000 cards that year: some were written in crayon, others covered in glitter, but all of them had the same heartfelt messages from city kids to farmers and their families,” Mr Warlters said. “Little did we know what impact these letters would have on the farmers reading them; coming from children they didn’t know, saying that they cared.” “To say the response from the farmers was emotionally charged would be an understatement.” Mr Warlters said the organisation is hoping to get even more cards in 2020, beating the record 38,000 handmade cards sent in 2019. Over 700 schools and community groups participated last year, and nearly 200 volunteers were involved in mailing out Christmas cards and letters to almost 11,000 farmers and their families. (Note: Farmers received more than one card and letter.) The cards cannot be larger than 120mm x 170mm, though they can be folded down to this size, and should not be placed in an individual envelope. Instead, cards should be grouped together and placed in a bigger envelope before being mailed to Rural Aid - PO Box 1342, Sunnybank Hills QLD 4109. Rural Aid explained that, in addition to the anguish caused by the COVID pandemic that has affected all Australians, farmers across the country have endured years of record-breaking droughts, devastating floods and catastrophic bushfires. “After such a difficult year, we want to put a smile on the faces of Aussie farmers. Students can make this possible by getting their school involved in our Christmas Cards 4 Farmers initiative.” Help Rural Aid continue this tradition by creating your homemade card and sending it in before November 19. Rural Aid will have thousands of envelopes here ready to put your card in and send onto an Aussie farmer. Visit: www.ruralaid.org.au/christmascards4farmers/ NATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY WEEK: ISOLATION THE FOCUS Rural Aid invites primary producers to November webinar on loneliness During National Psychology Week, one of Australia’s largest rural charities is inviting farmers and rural residents across the country to attend this month’s edition of the popular “On The Couch” webinar series. Hosted each month by one of Rural Aid’s specialist counsellors, this month’s edition focuses on the topics of isolation, loneliness and being alone. CEO of Rural Aid John Warlters says that the challenges of living a solo life are common in the agricultural sector and in rural communities. “There is a distinction between loneliness and being alone, and it’s important to note that many people choose isolation,” Mr Warlters said. “Solo living is common in our remote and rural communities, but loneliness needs to be managed. In next week’s webinar we’ll look at the ‘why’ and ‘when’ of loneliness and how to create the best of both worlds.” Counsellor Gary Bentley will host the webinar which will be held at 6pm AEDT, 5pm AEST on 18 November. “There are times in our lives when we crave isolation; times when we want to remove ourselves from society; times when we want to close the door and keep the world at bay. "Me time'' is important,’ Mr Bentley explained. “We can use "Me time'' to reassess and regroup, recharge our emotional resources and refresh our spiritual strength. The problem is that isolation can become a prison of our own creation and can interfere with perspective altering the way we view our lives and the people around us.” “The answer lies in balance: determining when isolation can tip over from self-protection to self-harm, when something that can be good for us becomes destructive.” Any members of rural communities are welcome to attend. Attendance and comments made using the chat functionality of the webinar is strictly private and confidential. Register here ( https://my.demio.com/ref/AEP48BZuWaHHjiBI ) to attend the webinar: “Isolation, loneliness and being alone: The challenges of living a solo life.” 14

November 2020 Melissa Pickering CCWA Regional Education Officer - Wheatbelt T: 9574 5392 M: 0427 876 946 75 York Rd Northam WA 6401 Melissa.Pickering@cancerwa.asn.au Call to keep up with cervical screening Cervical Cancer Awareness Week: 16-22 November 2020 Cancer Council WA’s Wheatbelt Regional Education Officer, Melissa Pickering, said Cervical Cancer Awareness Week 16th – 22nd November was a timely reminder for women to make sure they are up to date with their cervical cancer screening. "We know cancer screening helps find cancer earlier so treatment can start before the cancer reaches a more advanced stage, giving people a better chance of survival,” she said. Ms Pickering said anyone with a cervix between the age of 25 and 74 years (regardless of whether or not they have been vaccinated for HPV) living in the Wheatbelt region should have regular Cervical Screening Tests as part of their ongoing health and wellbeing checks. “If people with a cervix delay their cervical screening, there is a chance a pre-cancerous abnormality may develop into cancer or an early cancer may develop to a stage that is more difficult to treat,” she said. ”If it has been sometime since they have had a cervical screening or if they have never had one, it is important to make a time to speak to your GP.” Those who have previously had the Pap test should have their HPV cervical screening test two years after their last Pap test, after which point if they have a normal result, they can move to five-yearly screening. Australia transitioned to a new five-yearly HPV cervical screening test for those aged 25-74 in 2017, replacing the old two-yearly Pap test. The new test looks for the presence of HPV, the virus that causes almost all cervical cancers, and is expected to lower cervical cancer cases and mortality by at least 20 per cent.1 For information about cervical cancer ( https://www.cancerwa.asn.au/resources/specific -cancers/gynaecological-cancers/cervical-cancer/ ) For cancer related information and support call 13 11 20 or go to www.cancerwa.asn.au 1 https://www.cancerwa.asn.au/articles/news-2018/australia-set-to-eliminate-cervical-cancer-by-2035/ 18
More than 90 people a month are being diagnosed with lung cancer in WA Cancer Council WA is using November’s Lung Cancer Awareness Month to remind Wheatbelt residents of the symptoms of lung cancer and what to do if they notice any unusual changes to their body. Cancer Council WA’s Wheatbelt Regional Education Officer, Melissa Pickering said many people don’t realise a cough which lasts for three weeks or more needs to be investigated. “If you have a long standing cough that worsens or changes for three weeks or more, it needs to be investigated,” she said. “If you have repeated chest infections, you notice you are becoming more short of breath or lacking energy, and have had any of these symptoms for more than four weeks, they should be investigated too. “If you cough up blood - even once - it’s really important to visit your doctor, clinic nurse or Aboriginal health worker right away to find out the cause. “It doesn’t mean you’ve got cancer, often it turns out to be something less serious, though it’s critical to have the symptoms investigated early to be sure.” Find Cancer Early champion Terry Keane from Toodyay, who has experienced lung cancer first -hand, echoes Cancer Council WA’s advice to Wheatbelt residents. Terry’s advice “You’re not bulletproof. Go see your doctor if something’s not right”. “Never smoke. It was part of our culture in those days. These days’ people catch up over a cup of coffee, in our day it was a cigarette” he said. Lung cancer remains the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and the most common cause of cancer death according to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare data. In the Wheatbelt in 2017, 54 people were diagnosed with lung cancer with 35 deaths. Smoking is linked to as many as 80 percent of lung cancers with current smokers almost nine times more likely to develop lung cancer than people who have never smoked. Other known causes of lung cancer include occupational carcinogens such as silica dust and diesel engine exhaust and if a person has a family history of lung cancer or previous lung disease their risk of lung cancer is also increased. “Remember, the chances of successful treatment are much higher when cancer is found early,” Ms Pickering said. For more information about lung cancer symptoms and to read the stories and advice of regional Western Australians who have had cancer, visit www.findcancerearly.com.au For cancer related information and support call 13 11 20 or go to www.cancerwa.asn.au 19
